[quote=Jacarandoso]On the subject of tickets fines and speed. I vote for a $1000 fine for anyone who goes over 55 in the slow lane. Anyone who gets caught moving in from the fast lane to pass someone who is already going 65 goes to jail![/quote]

I vote for california changing the carpool lane to a $4000/annual membership paid lane, that requires an addition $2000/annual special class X license that involves extensive written and behind the wheel driving training and test to pass as stringent as the european driving tests, which includes pull into the right lane when someone wants to pass. Then I vote to have the speed limit removed for these membership paid lanes in non-congested areas and where the road condition/weather condition permits, otherwise mandatory speed limits still applies.

Anyone that is caught in the membership lane who isn’t a member or who doesn’t abide to the speed limits rules and or courtesy rules loses his/her membership privilege, spends 360 hrs of community service trash on the freeway, and is court ordered to drive a Yugo for 4 years or not drive at all.

I still sort of agree on the hefty punishment for a stop sign and red light violation. I don’t think though the solution is monetary.. Perhaps mandatory community service…Like hours and hours of it. That way no-so-rich people don’t get hammered economically for mistakes…And rich people don’t laugh it off so easily.
